Can you
identify any
states of matter
in this picture?
Solid Liquid Gas
has particles has particles has particles
that are packed that can move that are
closely together and are in close widely
contact separated
Question 1:
Complete the following sentence “Scientists say that all matter is made up of
…………………..”.
Question 2:
Describe what you think scientists mean by particles.
Question 3:
How are the particles in a solid different to the particles in a gas?
Question 1:
Complete the following sentence
“Scientists say that all matter is
made up of ”.
Question 1:

made up of …………………..”.
Question 2:
Describe what you think scientists mean by particles.
Question 3:
How are the particles in a solid different to the particles in a gas?
Question 2:
Describe what you think
scientists mean by particles.
Question 2:
Particles are the smallest parts that
make up an object or material or
matter. Solids, liquids and gases are
made up of particles.

Question 2:
Describe what you think scientists mean by particles.
Question 3:
How are the particles in a solid different to the particles in a gas?
Question 3:
How are the particles in a solid
different to the particles in a
gas?
Question 3:
The particles in a solid are held in position by strong
forces between the particles – that is why they have
fixed shape. The particles in a gas are also held
together but are weaker and that is why they have no
shape but fill whatever space they are in.
Lesson Purpose and Intention
Lesson Purpose and Intention
We want to be sure we know and
understand how the particle
nature of matter helps us explain
the properties of solids, liquids
and gases.

Lesson Language Practice
States of matter are the distinct
forms in which matter can
exist, based on its physical
properties and arrangement of
particles.
Scientists use models to help show
ideas more clearly.
If we were to ‘zoom in’ to this box, what would we
see?
In the particle model, we use circles
to represent all types of matter.
If we could look at the smallest components of
a solid, what would we see?
Question 1:
What do the little grey circles represent?
Question 2:
Describe the arrangement of the particles.

Question 3:
What would you feel if you held it in your hand? Why?
Question 1:
Look at the ice that your
teacher has given you and
suggest what will happen to
it if you leave it for a while?
Question 1:
It will melt.
Question 1:
Look at the ice that your teacher has given you and suggest what will happen
to it if you leave it for a while?
Question 2:
What would happen if you put the ice in the sunlight or held it in your hand?

Question 2:
Did you find the diagram in component 4A helpful to explain the particle
nature of solids, liquids and gases? If so, why?
Question 1:
Did you know what
the little circles
represented in the
diagram? If so, how?
